Hotel Monte Mulini - Adults Only (16+)

Overview

Hotel Monte Mulini is cosied right up next to the coast - even the pools have sea views! They've also got hydromassage jets and a swim-up bar, but we don't like to brag. When you're not sipping a mojito straight from the water, you can head across to Lone Bay to flop down on a comfy lounger, or hit the spa to treat yourself to a 'Gin and cocktail on the rocks'. It's not a drink - it's a massage inspired by the ingredients of the classic tipple. But don't worry, if the drink's more your vibe then you can enjoy that too. The bar's got a Gin Library, so you'll be spoilt for choice. Turns out this hotel knows exactly how to go the full Monte.

Food & Drink

• Restaurant Mediterraneo - Mediterranean classics served with views of the pool area and sea - you can sit indoors or on the terrace if you fancy dining al fresco

• Amatis - it's the smallest restaurant in Croatia (proudly), ideal for a cosy date night with a candlelit atmosphere, moonlit views of the bay, and a five-course menu that's always changing

• Wine Vault Restaurant - it all sounds very Downton Abbey, because yes - this place does have a wine-cellar-slash-restaurant. You can tuck into a French-inspired menu here, paired with one of the 220 Croatian wines on offer - wowser.

• Pool bar - you can swim right up to this bad boy and plonk down on an underwater-stool for a cocktail, juice, wine or light snack between swims

• Mulini beach bar - no prizes for guessing where this place is. If lazing about by the sea with a tea, coffee or glass of champers (why not?) in hand sounds like your bag, this is your spot

• Lobby bar - decked out with a massive fireplace, a Gin Library with over 40 different gin labels, Insta-worthy views and a menu of cocktails, coffee blends and desserts - you'd practically have to drag us away from this place

Sports & Entertainment

• Four outdoor pools - because one just isn't enough. Cool off with a dunk in one of these guys and you'll be surrounded by sea views and comfy sun loungers. There's even a hydromassage section if you prefer to sit rather than swim

• Mulini Beach - it's right on your doorstep, so it'd be rude not to. The beach has loads of handy facilities, from toilets and showers to changing rooms and FREE sun loungers and parasols. The comfy kind, too - not the creaky plastic ones

• Beach sports - SUP. No, we're not just trying to be all chilled and cool. SUP is 'stand-up paddleboarding' - you can do it right here, along with kayaking if that's more your vibe

• Gym - you'll have shared access to Hotel Lone's gym, which you can get to via a directly-connecting corridor. Simple!

• Spa & wellness centre - treat yourself to a pamper with a signature massage or a trip to the Finnish sauna

• Indoor pool - smaller and more relaxed than the outdoor pools, this is the ideal place to take a quiet dip. Make sure to check out the whirlpool!

• Evening shows and live music - wind down after dinner with some chilled entertainment
